THE POWER
of the team
AT WORK FOR YOU

4WHEN MAKING A
FOR YOUR
FACTORS WE CONSIDER
PRICING PLAN
HOME
Agents must be part mathematician,
psychologist and artist to price a home to sell.
A well-priced home creates interest, attracts buyers, generates
showings, and produces offers, usually very quickly. An under priced
home will attract buyers and may sell quickly, yet may detract buyers
who wonder "what's wrong with it?" as well as be overlooked by the
buyers looking in a slightly higher price range. An overpriced home will
be evidenced by lack of interest, few showings, no offers, a longer time
on the market, and possibly price cuts - which can look bad from the
buyer's prospective.
1
CONDITION
You don't get a second chance to make a first
impression. Most buyers make a decision about the
property they see within the first 15 seconds of
entering the home. Homes in great condition will
attract more interest and offers and will tend to sell for
more than homes in less than great condition. Staging
can make a difference - de-cluttering and improving
the general cleanliness and condition of the home is
what we call 'staging.' Staged homes become more
valuable than other comparable properties in a similar
price range.

2
LOCATION
You've probably heard it said before: Location,
Location, Location! Well, it's true. Location is
one of the most important factors in
determining the value of your property. We will
do all we can to maximize your home's location
and proximities.
3
TIMING
Property values are affected by the current real
estate market. Because we can't manipulate
the market, we'll collab orate on a pricing and
marketing strategy that will take advantage of
the first 30 days your property is listed. It's the
window of opportunity when buyers and their
agents discover your property and are most
likely to visit and make offers.
4
COMPETITION
Prospective buyers are going to compare your
property - both the condition and the price - to
other active listings in and around your
neighborhood. In order to get buyers' attention
away from your competition and focused on
your home, we will be competitive by properly
pricing and staging your home.

OUR HIGH TECH, HIGH TOUCH
MARKETING PLAN
IS A STANDARD ABOVE THE REST!
We believe a comprehensive marketing campaign for your house should include both
traditional and digital marketing. In order to maximize exposure, the work behind the scenes
begins before your home is even officially listed in the MLS to drive traffic and utilize our
marketing machine to ensure your property’s launch is as successful as possible. Our strategic
layered marketing approach ensures a buyer, no matter where they are located in the world, can find,
view, and fall in love with your home.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
MATTERS

virtual staging
Ways we may find your buyer:
NETWORKING
Our listings receive attention from our vast
network of potential Buyers (of over 130,000+)
and local agents alike. We proactively network to find
your buyer.
FOR SALE SIGNS
It’s not unusual for Buyers to cruise their potential
neighborhoods in search of their perfect house, so a
For Sale sign is always recommended when allowed.
ONLINE MARKETING
We strategically identify who the likely Buyers are
for your home and develop individualized
marketing plans to reach them utilizing tools such
as the following:
■ Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
■ Global Property Searches (Proxio/Listhub)
■ Top Exposure & Placement on Popular Consumer
Search Sites (ie- Realtor.com/Zillow)
■ Cross-Platform Targeted Social Media Campaigns
■ Google listings, SEO, and Targeted Buyer Campaigns

SHOWINGS
& FEEDBACK
When Buyers make an appointment to see your
house, keep the following in mind:
■ It's considerate to leave your home so the agent and their
buyers can look at the home without you present.
■ Be as flexible as you can with requested showings. Keep in
mind, buyers may need to look at the home in the evening
or on the weekends.
■ Make a plan for pets and kid so you don't have to stress
when showings come up last minute.
APPOINTMENTS TO SHOW THE HOME
Showing Time allows licensed Real Estate agents to schedule
showings 24/7. Showings will not begin until your home is ACTIVE on
MLS.
Appointments to view your home are coordinated through
Showing Time. You will receive an invitation shortly after your
listing is active to set your showing notification preferences.
Agents and our staff will take care of bringing buyers to your
home, all you need to do is prepare for showings! You will receive
emails, phone calls, or text messages depending on your
appointment preferences to confirm showing appointments.
FEEDBACK
Although it can be hard to secure, our team will work to collect
feedback after each showing. Although we believe, the best type
of feedback is an offer!

OFFERS
Working with Wemert Group ensures you have expert guidance navigating and negotiating a winning offer.
We will work in partnership with you to leverage our experience and negotiation skills to craft an offer that
will align with both your needs and what we uncover to be the seller’s expectations.
When it comes time to negotiate an offer on your home, your
agent will present each offer submitted on the property to
you, and consult with you on your best options.
Your agent can show you a revised net sheet, helping you
see clearly what you will net from the sale, no matter how the
offer is structured.
Some homes are lucky enough to receive multiple offers.
Your agent will work with you to create a timeline and
expectations for all parties if this happens and will be able to
guide you through each step of the process.

THINGS ABOUT ESCROW
YOU SHOULD KNOW
4WHEN SELLING
YOUR
HOME
1
What is an escrow deposit?
An escrow deposit is a good faith gesture made by the
buyer to the seller, indicating the buyer is serious
about purchasing the property. Once the funds are
deposited, the money should not be removed by the
escrow agent holding the funds without the buyer and
the seller’s written consent.
2
In
How much money should the
buyer deposit into the escrow
account?
Florida, there is no standard percentage that a buyer
must put down for escrow money. Typically, buyers
should deposit as little as possible to limit their risk,
while sellers should try to require a higher deposit of
around 5-10% of the purchase price to ensure the
buyer is serious.

3
There
What to do when issues
arise after the parties sign
the contract?
are numerous issues that can arise causing a
property transaction not to close. Some examples
include inspections revealing major undisclosed
problems with the property, failure of the property
to appraise at the value of the purchase price,
unsatisfied liens, or the seller or buyer failing to
meet contractual obligations. However, once the
deposit has been made into the escrow account, it
will stay in there until either the transaction closes,
the parties agree to release each other, or a
judgment is entered in favor of one party.
Accordingly, if issues arise, neither the buyer or
seller can simply take the funds out of escrow.
If for any reason other than the seller’s failure to
make his or her title marketable after reasonable
diligent effort, the seller fails, neglects or refuses to
perform his or her obligations under the contract,
the buyer may elect to receive return of the deposit
without waiving any action for damages resulting
from seller’s breach, and the buyer make seek to
recover damages or seek specific performance.
4
If
What happens if the parties
cannot agree to a resolution
over the escrow funds?
the parties used the 2021 FAR/BAR contract, the
buyer and seller will have 10 days after the date
demands are made for the deposit in order to
resolve the dispute. If there are still unresolved
issues after the 10 days, the buyer and seller must
go to mediation, and if mediation does not resolve
the issues, an action may be filed in court. Pursuant
to the 2021 contract prevailing party in a court
action shall be entitled to recover from the nonprevailing
party attorney’s fees and costs incurred.
If the parties did not use the 2021 FAR/BAR
contract, they must refer to the contract to
determine dispute resolution over the escrow
deposit.

SAVE OUR HOMES
PORTABILITY TRANSFER
If you are moving from a previous Florida homestead to a
new homestead in Florida, you may be able to transfer, or
“port,” all or part of your homestead assessment difference If
you are eligible, portability allows most Florida homestead
owners to transfer their SOH benefit from their old
homestead to a new homestead, lowering the tax assessment
and, consequently, the taxes for the new homestead. To
transfer the SOH benefit, you must establish a homestead
exemption for the new home within three years of January 1
of the year you abandoned the old homestead (not three
years after the sale). You must file the Transfer of Homestead
Assessment Difference (Form DR-501T) with the homestead
exemption application. The deadline to file these forms is
March 1. Complete all forms and applications required for the
exemption and file them with your county property appraiser.
If the property appraiser denies your application, you may file
a petition with the county’s value adjustment board. For more
information, see Petitions to the Value Adjustment Board.
The Department of Revenue’s website has more information
about property tax benefits for homestead properties.

SELLER
DISCLOSURES 101
What is a Seller Disclosure?
In Florida a seller of residential property is obligated to disclose to a buyer all facts known to a seller that
materially and adversely affect the value of the Property being sold which are not readily observable by a
buyer.
Is a Seller Disclosure mandatory in Florida?
While a seller's property disclosure form is not required under Florida law, Florida law does require
seller's and their realtors to disclose any significant material property defects that may not be easily
visible to the buyer. Buyers still have the responsibility to have the property inspected.
Florida Statute §720.401, is a law that
requires mandatory membership in a
homeowner’s association. This statute states
that buyers looking to purchase real
property in a community with an existing
homeowner’s association must be informed
of their requirement to become members of
the homeowner’s association in the event
that they buy the property. Additionally,
members are required to pay monthly or
quarterly fees as well as assessments, and
risk a lien being filed on the property for
failure to pay the homeowner association
fees. As a consequence, if proper disclosures
regarding the homeowner association
disclosures has not been made, the sale can
be voided.
Florida condo disclosures, are governed by
Florida Statute §718.503 (1), (2), and (3), and
pertain to the purchase of a condominium
in Florida. These laws make it illegal for
sellers and developers to not disclose prior
to purchase all of the specificities that go
along with condo ownership. These specifics
include, right to review association
documents and bylaws prior to closing,
property management details, property
management contracts, time shares, right to
evaluate any recreational leases of the
condo, proof of improvements, legal
ownership of the developer or seller. The
Florida Condo Disclosures must be made in
writing which includes the statutory
language by the seller of the condo.

SAVING MONEY
REISSUE
CREDITS
FOR TITLE
REISSUE RATE a.k.a. “REISSUE CREDIT”
The most common title insurance discount is the
Reissue Rate. You may also hear it referred to as
Reissue Credit. The reissue rate can result in a
rather substantial discount for purchasers of
title insurance. But before we get to the amount
of the discount, let’s discuss what is required to
qualify for it.
First, you must PRESENT YOUR PRIOR
OWNER’S TITLE POLICY FOR A DISCOUNT. The
primary requirement is the existence and
presentation of a previously issued owner’s
policy of title insurance that insures the current
owner of the property (this could be the seller in
a purchase transaction or the owner in a
refinance transaction).
When refinancing, the reissue credit can be
given no matter how old the policy is or how
many times you have used it for refinancing
your property.
When selling, as long as it is within 3 years of
the date of the issuance (effective date) of your
Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance, you will be
eligible. NOTE: 3 years is the limit and the prior
policy has the date and time it was issued.
The amount of the reissue credit will depend on
(1) the amount of the prior policy and (2) the
amount of the new policy. We will take the
lesser of the two amounts to calculate your
reissue credit.
In a nutshell, if you are planning on selling or
refinancing you want to find that Owner’s Policy
of Title Insurance that was issued to you when
you purchased the property–get it to your Title
Agent to start saving money…Every little bit
helps!

CALCULATING
CAPITAL GAINS
A Special Real Estate Exemption for Capital Gains
Up to $250,000 in capital gains ($500,000 for a married couple) on the home sale is exempt from taxation if
you meet the following criteria: (1) You owned and lived in the home as your principal residence for two out
of the last five years; and (2) you have not sold or exchanged another home during the two years preceding
the sale. You may qualify for a reduced exclusion if you otherwise qualify but are short of the two-out-of-thelast-five-years
requirement if you meet what the tax law calls “unforeseen circumstances,” such as job loss,
divorce, or family medical emergency.
How to Calculate Gain
Your home’s original sales price when you bought it
(not what you brought to closing).
Additional costs you paid toward the original purchase
(include transfer fees, attorney fees, and inspections
but not points you paid on your mortgage).
Cost of improvements you’ve made (include room
additions, deck, etc. Improvements do not include
repairing or replacing existing items).
Current selling costs (include inspections, attorney
fees, real estate the commission, and money you
spent to fix up your home to prepare it for sale).
Add the above items to get your adjusted cost basis:
The final sale amount for your home.
The adjusted cost basis figure from above.
Your capital gain:

1031 EXCHANGE
WHAT IS A 1031 EXCHANGE AND
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A 1031 exchange gets its name from Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code, which allows you to avoid paying capital gains taxes when
you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds from the sale
within certain time limits in a property or properties of like kind and equal
or greater value.
Any property held for productive use in a trade or business or for
investment can be exchanged for like-kind property. Like-kind refers to
the nature of the investment rather than the form. Any type of
investment property can be exchanged for another type of investment
property. A single-family residence can be exchanged for a duplex, raw
land for a shopping center, or an office for apartments. Any
combination will work. The exchanger has the flexibility to change
investment strategies to fulfill their needs.

LIKE-KIND PROPERTY
The property is being sold and the property being
acquired must be similar, or like-kind.
INVESTMENT OR BUSINESS
PROPERTY ONLY
1031 exchanges are only applicable for investment or
business property, not personal property.
REPLACEMENT PROPERTY SHOULD BE
OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE
NO 'BOOT' = NO TAXES
For an exchange to be completely tax-free, the replacement
property must not be of lesser value. The difference is called
a 'boot' and is subject to capital gains taxes.
MUST INVOLVE SAME TAXPAYER
The tax return, and the name appearing on the title of the
property being sold, must be the same as the tax return and
titleholder of the new property
45 DAY IDENTIFICATION WINDOW
The property owner has 45 days to identify up to three
potential properties of like-kind, after closing or the first
property.
180 DAY PURCHASE WINDOW
The replacement property is received and the exchange
completed no later than 180 days after the sale of the
exchanged property.

The information contained herein is for general information only and should not be relied

YAY
IT'S ALMOST CLOSING DAY!
As the closing day (the day the new Buyer takes
possession) approaches, you will need to make sure to
inform the utility companies of your impending move.
A final walk-through of the home will typically take place
within 24 hours of final closing by the buyer. Your
Transaction Manager will take care of scheduling this with
all parties. The closing will typically take place at a title
company.
Please make sure you have cleared the home of the
personal items you will be taking with you in the move,
and leave the home in at least 'broom swept' condition by
the time walkthrough is scheduled to happen. You should
be completely moved out the day before closing day.
At closing, please let your agent know where extra keys,
mailbox keys, garage door openers, etc have been left for
the buyers. You can expect to sign your name many times.
You'll be putting your John Hancock on a pile of legal
documents! If all goes well (as it usually does), you will
eventually leave your house closing with a stack of
documents. (which you should save)
Plan ahead to bring two forms of ID to closing and we'll be
there to guide you through the rest!
When the property is transferred to the new owner, you
will receive your proceeds, legal fees, and any
adjustments). The Keys are not given to the buyer until we
fund and proceeds are distributed to all parties.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU!

THINGS TO DO WHEN
MOVING
We know that moving day can be both exciting
and stressful! Here are five things you can do to
make moving day a breeze.
CONNECT YOUR INTERNET/UTILITIES
When you move, you will need to connect your
utilities. The utility company will need your new
address, your preferred connection date,
contact number and identification.
2
CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS
1
Go to USPS.com/move to change your address
online. This is the fastest and easiest way, and
you immediately get an email confirming the
change.
Also, be sure to update the following:
Magazine or box-style subscriptions
Your car insurance and registration provider
Your driver’s license
Your details on the electoral roll
Your bank
And online shopping accounts (ie: Amazon, etc)
3
UPDATE YOUR NEW CONTACT INFO
Although it’s important to make sure you
officially change your address with relevant
businesses and the post office, it’s also
important to update your friends and relatives.
Send a text message or email notifying people
of your new address!
4
PACK AN UN-PACKING BOX
One of the first things you need to pack when
moving house is an unpacking box. This box
should contain allen keys, any tools you might
need to construct furniture, labeled zip lock
bags with screws from furniture you
dismantled in the move, scissors, screwdrivers,
masking tape, dust cloths and glue. Having
these items all in the same box will save you
time and your sanity when setting up your new
home.
5
PACK A FIRST NIGHT BOX
Just as important as the un-packing box, the
first night box is essential to a successful move.
It should contain a change of clothing, basic
toiletries, toilet paper, pajamas, towels, bed
linens and any other essentials you may
require like tea bags or a coffee pot. It makes
such a big difference when you aren’t frantically
searching through boxes at midnight trying to
find your toothbrush!
